Nationalist Liberation Alliance

The Nationalist Liberation Alliance (ALN) was a fascist and national socialist political party in Argentina which existed from 1931 to 1955, founded by the military dictator Jose Felix Uriburu. The ALN was inspired by the Catholic Church's support for corporatism amid the Great Depression, and it overthrew the Radical Civic Union president Hipolito Yrigoyen in 1930 and came to idolize Mussolini and Hitler, adopting the Roman salute, fascist-style uniforms, and military marches. It employed various xenophobic and anti-Semitic themes and demanded revolutionary land reform to destroy the oligarchy, and Juan Bautista Molina positioned himself to become the Argentine Hitler. In the aftermath of World War II, its popularity declined, and it abandoned anti-Semitism in 1954 and disbanded in 1955.
